OTI’s Trades and Apprenticeship Career Class is a 7-week state-certified pre-apprenticeship class for women. Classroom instruction and field work help prepare women for a high skill, high wage career in the trades.

The largest non-traditional event of its kind, Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. produces the Women in Trades Career Fair to help fill the imminent gap in the labor force that will be created with record-levels of upcoming retirements of skilled trades people, and to increase the overall number of women working in trades careers.
